As Sarris is done with helmets, and Dupo is done with pipes, I'm done with the MSF.

Alan, sounds like the course you took was either over-crowded or your teacher just wasn't that good. Mine was nothing like that. Lots of good helpful insight from our facilitator. I could understand why that would be a waste of money. We had lots of time actually running through exercises with good instruction at the front and good observation and feedback during. By the time we were done almost all of us could handle the bike pretty well (especially considering how some of us were coming into it
)
Locking up your brakes while you're practicing an emergency stop with a trained rider watching and telling you exactly what you did wrong is much more desirable than locking them up in rush hour traffic when the car in front of you stops suddenly. At least that's my opinion. That was my point.
...and for the record, I'm done with hijacking welcome threads. :biggrin:
